Ken,

Have you opened your case recently? Many cases now have a
switch that changes a BIOS setting when you open the
case. Usually, this is for a business class machine. To
(probably) remove the message appearing, reboot the
machine and go into the BIOS setting and look for an
option for "Chassis Intrusion Detection" and you can
either reset it or disable it. Obviously this is aimed at
the company that wants/needs to know when somebody is
mucking around inside a machine where they don't belong.

Good Luck!
